Plum and Orange Juice

Plums are also
helpful in bone metabolism and protect you from bone diseases caused
due to aging. This juice will help regulate the digestive system, helps
against constipation and good blood pressure. Oranges are the great source of
Vitamin C and hence helps in immunity for the growing kids. This juice is also
ideal for weight loss thanks to the high amount of vitamin C. Orange and plums
are packed with vitamin C, beta-carotene, copper, manganese and potassium
.Plums are good sources of chromogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid, compounds
in the phenols family which have been well-documented to possess strong
antioxidant and anticancer effects.Thus this drink was made. Loved the color and taste of it...
